Howdy stranger. I want to share something with you. It’s probably going to freak a few people out, and other people might not get it, but I’m sure that somebody else will understand, and really all I care about is sharing something that had a profound effect on me today. It was something that reminded me about how connected we [...]

Well, another weekend has come and gone and I’ve got nothing exciting to say about that. Unless you’re particularly interested in stories about guys who sit at desks all day Saturday and Sunday working on spreadsheets (when the business brain works) and short stories (when the creative brain works), burning his eyes out on a fading laptop screen. If that’s [...]

You didn’t ask for it, but the weather report from around here goes something like this–as of a little before noon on the last Saturday in AUGUST, it’s 57 degrees. Fahrenheit. If I didn’t have the benefit of a a calendar, you wouldn’t have a hard time convincing me that it was October. Soon enough it will be, and behind [...]

This week’s trip to Minneapolis stirred memories. Not really my memories, more like what Peff talks about when he talks about saudade. I was nostalgic for something that never was–at least not in my own life. That’s such a damning and lonely feeling. Anyway, last weekend I talked about my favorite band to come out of the Minneapolis music scene [...]

Because every conversation I have seems to branch off into thirty different streams of conscious (especially those conversations I have with myself), I guess it shouldn’t surprise me that this blog is filled with a bunch of derivative content. Totally aimless derivative content. After yesterday’s post, M* and I traded emails about why we thought Bob Mould was awesome and [...]

In case anybody ever wonders–I fear failure like a sonofabitch. The trick is to not let it cripple.

Hey to you and yours. I hope you are doing well and that life is being kind. I’ve been keeping a good thought for you all while you picnic along the river or read a book or travel across Europe. Keep living your adventure and try to remember that the world is wonderful if you just let it be. C* [...]

I hope you are well wherever you are. I’ve decided to go ahead with my analysis of the heaviest song on my iPod (actually my iPhone) and I’m doing it right now even though I’ve got a headache and I feel a bit blah. I will soldier on in the name of science and hope that the Tylenol dulls the [...]

It’s late, but it’s Wednesday, so I’m going to sneak a few more hours into the day. I’m working (on a request) to put together a list of the Heaviest Songs on my iPod. As such, I’m combing through the stacks. I may even try to scientifically calculate it so that the list is ranked. Will Kinghorse make the list? [...]

Dear Reader- As your summer draws to a close, I hope that you’ve had adequate time to get out and enjoy yourself. It sounds like July was unseasonably cool everywhere–I haven’t had to turn on the air conditioner much at all this summer. I’m ok with that. I had my last softball game of the year on Wednesday (the official [...]
